[The significance of coronary artery calcification seen by roentgenoscopy (author's transl)].

The detection of coronary artery calcification by roentgenoscopy is an important hint at possible ischemic heart disease. By the advent of image intensification and magnification, this examination can easily be performed. If no calcifications are visible, an ischemic heart disease must not be excluded. The presence of calcification in the coronary arteries however strongly favours the diagnosis of arteriosclerotic heart disease. The roentgenoscopical search of coronary calcification is considered to be a valuable procedure since it is inexpensive, noninvasive and widely applicable.
